We would like to inform our customers that Gloucester Lock will be open for weekend passage only, subject to certain restrictions.

Transit through Gloucester Dock is currently limited to shallow-drafted vessels with a draft of 1.2 metres or less. Dredging operations are ongoing, and we will continue to provide regular updates on navigable depths.

For current river levels—which determine the air draft restriction—please contact the lock keeper at Gloucester Lock on 01452 310832.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding.

If you would like to discuss this information further, please contact our Customer Service Team at 📧 [email protected] 📞 03030 40404
